Lu Chenzhou, a scholar from a poor family, came to Beijing alone to take the exam because of the suspicion that his family was ruined. In the ever-changing city of Chang'an, he stood out in the examination by virtue of his extraordinary literary talent and extraordinary courage, but as a result, he also stepped into a murderous case in the court that lasted for fifteen years.
Lin Wan, a cold and talented girl who once saved his life in Qingfengling, was actually the orphan of the Shen family who had been executed. From testing each other to forming an alliance, the two used the secret letter in the inkstone left behind by the Lu family, "Shou Zhuo Zang Feng", and under the heavy supervision of the powerful minister Pei Yan, to rummage through the pile of old papers to find out the truth.
This is a story about "the historian's pen is stronger than the sword". Lu Chenzhou walked between the shadows of the temple and the competition in the examination room, using his body to move the world. He not only wants to vindicate his father in the turbulent power struggle, but also wants to write the character and integrity of a poor student in the officialdom monopolized by aristocratic families.
"The wind can bend its shape, but it cannot break its heart." When the truth is revealed to the world, what he seeks is not only the innocence of his family, but also the eternal peace of this beautiful country.
